Question

— The boss, not the workers. They just carried out the order______.

A. as they told B. as are told

C. as told D. as telling

Answer 1

C

【解析】

试题分析：考查方式状语中省略的用法。句意：—谁应该为这个事故负责? —老板，不是工人。他们只是按照命令来执行。首先they是指workers，所以they与tell之间是被动关系，其次，当从句里主语与主句相同时，且谓语动词是系动词be，可省略从句主语和be动词，故选C。

考点：考查省略的用法。
